ACE work as usual Elbear. Top Tier . smooth camera work and presentation, NO awkward fumbling opening packaging, just a brief intro to her character, and on to the review. it was an immediate buy for me and a MUST own . This figure looks just like she does in all her photos, as we all know sometimes companies like to use photoshop to "Sell" to make a figure look better than it really is. if you are a fan of this character and The KOF series...(i am a bit bias as i am a huge SNK fan )..clean fine details , sharp looking headsculpts, the tunshi 1/6 scale girls are a little smaller in size when compared to other 1/6 scale females from other companies , sadly i wont be able to put together the KOF97 womans team as PopToys 1/6 scale chizuru is on the larger size , but on the bright side, Tunshi is releasing a Yuri Sakazaki so hopefully they will eventually make a king figure to assemble the 94 womans team.

Thank you as always for the kind and in-depth feedback! But yeah, I agree with your sentiment about the size. Normally I'm a stickler for accurate height representation in a sixth scale figure. While 5'4" is arguably petite, somehow Mai was never portrayed to be that small in the games. Though I'm cautiously optimistic about Tunshi's Yuri being petite as well. And who knows. Maybe Tunshi also has a Chizuru in the pipeline that might scale well with the rest.

Now you can recreate the legendary Haohmaru Vs Mai fight! This looks excellent. The ponytail could have been ball jointed for more movement, and they could have added a flaming effect for her Ryu Enbu attack imo. But at any rate the figure is worthy of Mai on its own. (Nice BG music btw. This is true love we makin)

@ElbearToys Жыл бұрын

That's a brilliant idea! Perhaps a display stand with an optional Ryu Enbu add-on effect might look great too. And thank you for catching that BGM! It always makes my day when someone picks up on the choice of music because that's often my favorite part about making these videos. Happy new year, my friend!

Excellent excellent review as always. Sadly I’m not too thrilled about the figure. Her height and general size are too small. Genesis’ version has the proper dimensions in my eyes, however their portrait leaves a lot to be desired😢. Crossing my fingers Iconiq can pick up the license.

@ElbearToys Жыл бұрын

Thank you, my friend! I gotta say, I've never been this conflicted about the size of a sixth scale figure. On the one hand, 5'4" is arguably petite, but Mai never struck me as a tiny girl from her portrayal in all of the games. That said, I'm givin' it my all to support Iconiq Studios in hopes of them picking up more licenses. As action figure and fighting game enthusiasts, our time is now 🍻

That red costume on the Geneis Emen Mai 2.0 is by Super Duck (SET012). It's one of Super Duck's earlier works so it hasn't aged that well. I'd argue the red costume from Genesis Emen's Mai 1.0 is a better option, albeit it's based on the newer dress from recent KoF games. Thanks for watching!

What body is used on this figure? Brand and name?

@ElbearToys Жыл бұрын

The brand would be TBLeague, who had released a huge catalog of bodies with different proportions and skin tones. I wasn't able to identify which exact model used in this released. But if I have to make a wild guess based on height, shoulder width, breast size, and detachable feet parts, I'd say the S24A is a possible candidate.

@ivanandrespereira1193 5 ай бұрын

@@ElbearToys I really don't think it's the s24a body. The breasts are too big for it to be that body, which comes with medium size breasts. Also the tushy on the S24a body is not as big and round as in this figure. My guess is that is a "one off" body. It look similar to the "voleyball girl" by VSTOYS body. Which is also a "one off" body from TBLeague. Although without the two figures in hand or exact measurements is hard to determine.

I managed to unbox this figure and right now, I am wondering of her stand is magnetic because she can seemingly stand on her own without the base spine to hold her up. If it is magnetic, that is amazing. Also, you're right about the dust being a problem for her. I have a detolf display cabinet but it's not dust proofed yet and I wanted to display her on my PC desk. 🫤

@ElbearToys Жыл бұрын

Totally 😔 This dust issue is definitely one of the many woes of this kind of seamless bodies. As for the base, I don't think it's magnetic (unless mine is completely defective because the Lugosi Dracula by Infinite Statue has magnetic feet/base, and that one noticeably snaps). The sculpted feet could be the reason she stands so well with or without the base. Though for longterm display, I'd still recommend using the base because the micro vibration over time can still be enough to tip the figure over. Thanks for watching!

@RakaiThwei Жыл бұрын

@@ElbearToys I managed to get the base's spine to bend and now it's securing her to the base, so all is good and well. I also decided to take out my DOA Hitomi resin statue and placed this Mai Shiranui in the detolf, where she will have some protection against dust. Also, someone told me to buy some Vitamin E oils and apply it to the silicone/rubber skin of the figure to prevent it from drying out... I've never heard this done before, and I'm not willing to try it just because another collector said so but have you heard of that?

@ElbearToys Жыл бұрын

@@RakaiThwei Wow, I've never heard of any oil treatments to the rubber...but that's interesting because I've yet to consider the possibility. Even my oldest Phicen bodies have yet to show signs of tear due to being dried out (but they were in the box so that could be another reason for the longevity). Speaking of DoA, what do you think of the Super Duck Kasumi (SET073)? She doesn't look that much like in the game, but I might just bite anyway because this is their 3rd attempt at the character (and I doubt they can do it any better) 😅

@@ElbearToys Someone had informed me of that but it's not something I would be willing to risk with this Mai Shiranui figure. Right now, she's safe from dust (or as can be) in my IKEA detolf. She should be lasting a good while, so long she's out of sunlight and protected in the detolf. As for the Kasumi figure... well, I had to Google that one, and... I feel like I have seen better OFFICIALLY licensed Kasumi DOA figures, I had one from EPOCH back in 2000, but sadly, she was lost in a move, and I've seen an anime styled one which was better.

Since then, I just left them on display with a clear bag over them 😅 Of course the bags are not so tight that they'll ruin the seamless body or the hair/faces. They're the bags that sometimes comes with figures packed in foam inserts. Not at all conventional but hey...it works. I can see them and they won't get dusty.

I also don't leave these figure bodies in poses for long (other than snapping a few pictures), which definitely helps with the longevity. Hope that helps~
